Memorandum
Date: November 5, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Johanna DeLong, Asst. Clerk of the Board
Subject: EXTRA ITEM: a) Consideration of an Extra Item; and b) Consideration of Continuation of Emergency Proclamation Declaring a Shelter Crisis in the County of Lake
Executive Summary:
a) The emergency proclamation continuations were accidently left off the October 22nd meeting. Cal OES states that renewal of the resolution should occur every 60 days until terminated. I learned that there will not be a meeting on November 19th due to lack of quorum so I am requesting these be taken up as extras.
b) The Board of Supervisors originally approved an emergency declaration for shelter crisis on January 24, 2023. The proclamation cited the lack of beds available for those experiencing homelessness and would assist in allowing shelters to continue as well as new shelters to be initiated.
Due to the fact that the original proclamation discussed rain and snow as being part of the reason for declaring an emergency, a revised version of the emergency declaration is being brought back to the board to approve with revised recitals.
We are still short of beds needed to provide shelter for all of those who are experiencing homelessness. However, great strides are being made at both Behavioral Health and the Continuum of Care with the support of the Board of Supervisors to make progress in what is available.
